they're only hurting us. they're hurting -- i'm going to lose a half a day, or a day's worth of work. >> the 99%. the massive shutdown of west coast ports. a race to clean up toxic fuel leaking from the cal campus and the threat it is posing to the bank. it is monday, december 12. ladies once again. i'm frank mallicoat. >> i'm okay with that. >> i'm grace lee. >> and every day, you should know, frank, is ladies day. >> and my wife is tuned in and saying you go, girls. you go. >> good to be back. >> i got some rest. and when i thought i would catch up, boom, it is monday. >> you weren't gone that long but. >> but it was nice.

>> quick trip. >> nice to be back. >> and you have come back to the rain. >> what's up with that? >> scattered showers right now. so not a heavy downpour by any means but you probably want to keep the umbrella nearby as you're stepping outside and looking at high def doppler with showers all the way down to parts of san jose. and i will tell you how long that rain is going to last later on in the show. any traffic issues because of the rain? not yet? >> not really. it is still slick in spots as you can tell from the bay bridge toll plaza camera. be careful. we're not seeing any major problems so far. the overnight road work has been suspended because of the rain as well. a full traffic coming up in a bit. >> thanks, guys. it is 4:31 now. anti-war street protesting planned to block some of the ports up and down the west coast today. >> gil diaz is in oakland where protesters planned to march to that port in about an hour from now. he has the latest. >> reporter: good morning. yes, i was checking out the

tweet from occupy oakland and they were saying it is extremely important for protesters to meet here at 5:30 here this morning at the west oakland bart station to kick the day off right. but there are three marches planned for the rest of the day. for the port of oakland. one at 5:30 this morning. one at 3:00 this afternoon. and then 5:00 this evening. of course, these marchs have been in the works for the past month. since the successful first rally to the port on november 2. and now that march attracted more than 7,000 protesters. and they were able to shut down the port temporarily. but today's marches are not receiving the same support, especially from the port unions, and city officials. now, the occupiers say shutdown is to show support for the long shore union. that's in a labor dispute in washington state. but the union's president says the union has not voted to support the shutdown. and truckers who need to get their loads on to the cargo ships this morning think the marchs are are a bad idea.

>> you don't want to happen either. they are taking money away from everybody. the more they occupy, the less money everybody makes because imports and exports are so important to this country. our business dependses on it. >> mayor gene quan has written an open letter to the protesters and wrote the port of oakland is not the home of the 1%. rather, it generates over 73,000 jobs in the region. and is connected to more than 800,000 jobs across the country. and i just talked to one of the police officers here at the bart station, and she says that there is no plan to beef up security here, but as you mentioned, frank and grace, this is not just happening here in oakland, but throughout the west coast. so we will be having some planned protests at the port of los angeles, san diego, portland, seattle, tacoma, and vancouver and houston texas, planned for this morning. >> huge ramifications.

with we will check back in with you. thanks. there are no more occupy protest camps in san francisco. police in riot gear closed the last encampment in front of the federal reserve building early yesterday. there were 55 arrests for illegal lodging. no injuries were reported. and that leaves berkeley as the largest occupy encampment in the bay area. it has grown recently to about 100 tents. some of the newcomers had been evicted when police closed camps in oak and in san francisco. berkeley's mayor say the city is allowing the camp to stay as long as it is nonviolent. he says they have not had any complaints, until recently. it is 4:34 now. uc berkeley is trying to determine if it is safe to open a large research and classroom building that was the sign of a diesel spill. the spill happened on saturday at stanley hall and crews have been working around the clock to clean up the toxic mess. the building has been scheduled to house final exams and

700,000 gallons overflowed from a fuel tank and the fuel is used to power an emergency generate ner the building and leaked into the storm drains and surfaced in a creek on campus, sending out om noxious fumes. >> like a bunch of kerosene lanterns that poured out, you know, basically, just a lot of kerosene fume, or gasoline fumes. it really is pungent. kind of gives you a headache. >> and state and local agencies are monitoring the spill. because some of it could travel from the creek right into the bay. the coast guard has set absorbent booms to block the diesel. if it does begin to seep into that marine environment. and as soon as the sun comes up, the coast guard is expected to take another flight over an oil spill in the bay. this oil is coming from a decommisioned navy tugboat in richmonds inner harbor. the 205-foot tugboat was found to be found sinking and a salvage company tried to skim the oil off the water and a boom is in place to protect the

island preserve south of the harbor. safety changes are coming to san jose's christmas in the park, this after a frightening ferris wheel mishap. an 8-fot strip of lights fell and hit the canopy of a carriage below. and that impact broke off a 10- inch piece of fiberglass. the accident is blamed on a loose rivet. two people on the ride at the time were not hurt. the ferris wheel is closed until the other lights are reinforced. grace, 4:36 now. the future of u.s. iraq relations will take center stage at the white house this morning. president obama, the iraqi prime minister, noury al maliki will have a joint news conference and the withdrawal of troops from iraq by december 3 31 will mark the end of the war that has lasted almost a decade. the president is making a push to convince voters he is the best choice to turn the economy around. in an interview that aired on "60 minutes" last night, the president says his potential

republican opponents have come up with no solutions. >> do they think that cutting taxes further, including on the wealthy, cutting taxes on corporations, gutting regulations, do we think that is going to be somehow more acceptable? >> the president says his administration saved the u.s. auto industry and prevented a great depression but he did admit it will likely take more than one term or more than one presidency to get the economy fully back on track. the republican presidential hopefuls will not get much of a break with the iowa caucuses about three weeks away. front runners mitt romney and newt gingrich will be campaigning in new hampshire today, the site of the first primary. polls show romney still holds a strong lead there but not by the wide margin he enjoyed in the past and flat, and suggesting a bet during the weekend debate after rick perry
